First Wives Club

Pros: Some funny supporting roles, some good lines
Cons: Chock-full-o' tired cliches and silly stereotypes, lacks the sharp wit the commercials raved about

You've got to hand it to the producers of _The First Wives Club_, the movie based on Olivia Goldsmith's novel of the same title. While retaining that oh-so-important 30% of the book plot, they've managed to edit out most of the humor, snappy style and...

Pros: Kathie Lee wasn't on very long
Cons: Kathy Lee was on

What really ticks me off about this movie is the premise that all ex-wives are evil, greedy, back biting creatures looking for a way to make the old man pay because they found someone better than we were. Not all of us were out for revenge after the...

Pros: Bette Midler sings!
Cons: The writing, the adaption, all of it bad, bad bad

Note: This is a write-off of Loved the Book, hated the movie. I've already written a review of the book First Wives Club. Please check out these fine writers' work as well: Blackeve, ChrisJarmick, dandj,gwsmith, j3nny3lf,jiastar,Kay67, pantazis5,...

Pros: For me, it affirmed my strength
Cons: Depends on what you 'see' in this story

My opinion of this movie is most definitely a personal one, slanted from my own experience. What I gained, of course, may not be at all what you received, if indeed you gained anything. Also, this review will not go into a great deal of plot detail; what...

Pros: trendy actors
Cons: everything else

When I heard that "First Wive's Club" was supposedly a "white woman's Waiting To Exhale" I figured, what the heck, I'll rent it since "Waiting To Exhale" was good. But then again, "Waiting To Exhale" was actually,...

Pros: Good premise, strong comic performances
Cons: Forced drama, several endings

I was a minority for the opening night rush hour showing of The First Wives Club. Affirmative action on the part of middle-aged mothers everywhere couldn’t get most teenage guys into the theater, but I allowed myself to be dragged along to see this one...

Pros: excellent comedy
Cons: none that i could find

Where was this movie when I needed it? All kidding aside, I loved this movie so much and being divorced as a first wife, I could relate to the anger that these women were feeling.

I laughed so much with this movie and when my friends came...

Pros: funny, meaningful
Cons: n/a

When I saw the preview for First Wives Club, I had to see it. The reason, plain and simple it had Bette Midler in it. Goldie Hawn, Dianne Keaton, and Bette Midler play three women who husbands' left them for younger women. Rather then sit around and...

Pros: STARS ACTING AT THEIR BEST! A LOT OF TRUTH IN THIS FICTION!
Cons: NO, NONE

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS MOVIE! IT BEGINS WITH THREE WOMEN, ALL WITH DIFFERENT PERSONALITY TYPES, GETTING TOGETHER, TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW THEY HAVE EACH BEEN FORSAKEN FOR A YOUNGER WOMAN BY THEIR EX'S. FIRST, IT SEEMS THEY ARE GOING TO DO NOTHING BUT FEEL ...

Pros: Funny, great acting
Cons: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This is my favorite movie of all time, and to have all of my favorite actresses in it is great! It's about three recently divorced, middle-aged women named Brenda (Bette), Elise (Goldie), and Annie (Diane).

After being brought together by a...

Pros: Sets an example for all the 1st wives of the world.
Cons: ????

like a woman filing for alimony. This movie rocks! Three ladies done wrong and done over by their husbands decide to hit 'em where it hurts...in the pocketbook! The wives were lied, to cheated on, and passed over for something younger and blonder. They...

Pros: Great performances, funny moments.
Cons: Men may not be as amused

THE FIRST WIVES CLUB is a delightful comedy that uses the talent of three of today's best comic actresses to their full advantage. Unfortunately for men, it's used against them. Though this is a comedy, it takes the emotions and situations of the...

Pros: enlightening
Cons: none that I could see

This a movie all women who have ever been hurt, dumped, cheated on or used by any man. Even for you women who think it can't happen to you, remember one thing no one is ammune to this. The movie shows women what they can do to get even sorta speak with...
